Koi No Yokan Elimination (Round 1)

[krook]

It has been awhile, people have diffrent opinions now.

Im gonna keep it up.

No point in doing that.
Things are pretty much the same. WHTY goes away in the first round, then Swerve City and so on.

[LG95]

People who don't like Swerve City or WHTY can go play in traffic.

[E-Money]

Swerve city is my least favorite song from them. And what happened to you is one of my favorites...

[Dryalex12]

well i already started it, and since its going backwards.....just kidna......deal with it i dont know? i wasnt here in 2011, i dont know theses things

[Hinojos]

Damn I'm actually surprised to see "What Happened to You?" to be the most voted, I personally love that song.

It'll be interesting later on, but I had to vote Graphic Nature as the first one to go. It doesn't do much for me at least compared to the other songs on the album.

[Inkblades]

Does anyone else find Koi to be style over substance? It's a collection of slick, polished and admittedly catchy songs that, outside of a few tunes, does almost nothing for me on an emotional level.

Oh, and I voted for Tempest. Probably the most overrated Deftones song of all time.

[only pieces remain]

There have been KNY and DE elimination threads
I suggest that you start with SNW, then S/T and so on. From newer to older albums

this. someone start a snw elimination

I'll do this as soon as Gore Elimination is over.
Two ongoing eliminations would be too much I think.

nice. looking forward to snw elimination

i agree with the first part that it feels style over substance for the most part. its not a bad record, but in their catalogue, to me its overall meh with a few standouts

I love the sound of Koi honestly for whatever reason. I even like the way chino sings over the melodies. Its just for me some of the songs lyrics just don't hit home for me. Put some Goreish lyrics over Koi's sound and voila I would love it. Although I feel like I am not the usual Deftones fan.

blasphemy.these eliminations are sacred and only occure once after an album release. you're expressing great disrespect for sl and it's traditions by doing this. if you're gonna do it, please at least wait til the gore elimination is finished,and then choose a record that hasn't had one of these.

with that said, voted whty

Like i said, wasnt around

when in rome, do as the romans do

Ok guys what is with all the hate for what happened to you? It's seriously my favorite song on the record. I really love that track. And i have since the very first listen.. Just curious to hear why some don't like it. I know music is totally up to the individual. To me the harmonies are great and that guitar is so futuristic sounding. And Abe kills the track.!

[rainnyx4]

Just realized I accidentally voted for my favorite song on the album as opposed to the one I'd like eliminated (voted Entombed).

I was pleasantly surprised to see WHTY? get so many votes until I realized they were votes of hate not love.

That song is top 3 on the album and one of their best closers. The opinions on this board are so odd.

Na its just Deftone's sound is just so far, and reaching that people vibe with all different types of songs thats why I like them so much.

Couldn't of said it better. For all those that miss Chi's playing style, this is the closest track Sergio has come to replacing it. The bass just builds up and explodes during the final minutes of this track and the guitars and effects to go with them are just beautiful.

[pelican fly]

and I wanna hear them play Gauze live

[Inkblades]

WHTY? is okay, but kinda "eh" to me. I actually like Chino's vocals, but the music on that one is pretty bland.
